Course Picking Session!

Too many great courses to choose from for next semester?! Not sure what courses to take? Join Professor Staudt for a public interest law course picking session and pizza! We will talk about the required courses for the public interest certificate as well as any other courses you are curious about.

This session is a great way to meet this requirement, learn more about the course offerings for the Spring 2012 semester and ask any questions you may have.
